Some of the most popular esports franchises/games include; Dota 2, League of Legends and Counter Strike.

Ti7 – Dota 2s annual show piece tournament is currently in its closing stages where teams Newbee and LGD ForeverYoung are fighting it out for the enormous $10M first place prize. The tournament has been broadcast live throughout, via online streaming platform Twitch – the Amazon owned primary broadcaster for esports.

The decision to add esports to the Olympic programme is thought to be due to the belief that a contest of digital prowess should be considered a legitimate sport, especially if the Olympics wants to appeal to a new generation of fans.

Tony Estanguet, co-president of the Paris Olympic bid committee suggested, in an interview to the Associated Press that the Olympics were looking into ways they could attract a younger audience.

“The youth, yes they are interested in esport and this kind of thing,” said Estanguet. “Let’s look at it. Let’s meet them. Let’s try if we can find some bridges.

“I think it’s interesting to interact with the IOC, with them, the esports family, to better understand what the process is and why it is such a success. I don’t want to say ‘no’ from the beginning.”

In recent years, the Olympics has regularly added new sports to their programme – most recently; Golf and Rugby 7s in 2014.

Paris is set to host the 2024 Olympics without the usual dramatic vote. Due to spiraling costs of hosting the Olympic Games, many cities, including Rome, Hamburg and Budapest, withdrew their bids to host the event in 2024.

Gone are the days where host countries could benefit financially from hosting the Olympic Games. The costs of hosting the summer or winter Olympics goes well into the billions.

Due to the ever increasing popularity of esports, it certainly seems a shrewd decision by the Olympic Committee to add esports to the lineup. Without doubt the Olympics will add a significant number of young audience viewers to their coverage numbers by incorporating esports to their programme.

There are also numerous directions in which the Olympics can take esports. They have any number of franchises/games to choose from whilst they could even set about working with a games development company in order to create their own game specifically to be played and competed over during the Olympics.

Paris has a history of hosting esports tournaments too. Earlier this year, the regional final of FIFA 17s ‘Ultimate Team Championship Series’ was held in Paris. Although, the city will probably have to build the infrastructure to host an Olympic esports event. And this likely would not fit into their ‘Olympics on a budget’ mind frame.

Estanguet has suggested that the Paris games will be delivered on a budget with the view that they will use infrastructure which has already built, for the Games.

“We knew we had to challenge this reputation that the budget of the games can explode,” says Estanguet. “That’s why we built the project based on 95 per cent of existing venues to make sure we will be confident to be able to deliver our promises.”

The lowest amount that an Olympic Games has cost within the past 15 years was in Lillehammer (1994) and Nagano (1998) at the Winter Olympics Games. The costs of both of those Games were $2.23bn. Whilst the cost of the Summer Olympic games has ranged from $2.94bn in Athens (2004) all the way to a massive $14.96bn in London (2012).

Every single Olympic games since 1992 has overrun in estimated cost. The latest winter Olympics in Sochi (2014) overran by 289%. Clearly, Paris (2024) wants to address this issue. Judging by Estanguet’s rhetoric, it seems like a host city is finally learning that spending large amounts of public money on the Olympics is no longer a smart decision.

In a similar way to every mainstream sport, it is possible for viewers to place bets on various esports tournaments, comeptitions and matches. It is thought that the esports betting market is far bigger than the sports media rights, consumer revenues and advertising of esports put together – indeed, it is likely that the esports betting market is bigger than the esports economy itself. Of course, the ability to bet on something does tend to make it more popular.

Television broadcasters such as the BBC are broadcasting esports events live and are looking at increasing the number of esports to be shown live on their channels. BBC is due to broadcast live coverage of the Rocket League Gfinity Elite series in a months’ time.

In conclusion, regardless of which cities host future Olympic events, it is highly likely that the ICC will introduce esports as an Olympic event. Sports such as tennis, football and golf were thought to have been added due to their popularity and the same will happen with esports.

Founded by Clive Cooper back in the 60s in Central Street, London, the family business was born when Clive was just 20 years of age. But a key figure in the company’s success has been Clive’s stepson, CEO Gary Peeling, and his willingness to evolve and adapt to every technological change and demand that has come along.

The evolution of print products

(1988 – Stitched book)

Following the birth of Precision Printing, trends have evolved. 1966 was the era of the letterpress, letters and short runs, followed by the 70s and 80s — the years known for producing general business stationery, stitched books, long runs and GTOs, rather than the more elaborate products of today like lay flat books. Business stationery was produced in mass and often stored in stock.

(2017 – Lay flat)
Gary Peeling explains: “Now the printing business is digitally-driven and, when once we had a typesetter or compositor, we now have a software development department and the business is entirely run from a digital front-end, so it’s been a huge transition.

“When we first started, you’d be lucky to have an estimate in three days. We now print and ship same-day up to 50,000 orders a day in the on-demand space, so there’s been a huge transformation.”

(1966 – Letterpress)

With the aim to keep all products and services up-to-date, when technologies have changed and evolved over the years, so have Precision Printing. With the help of short run digital press long runs are no longer required as print on demand is more economical all round. Business cards were generally artworked proofed, proofed again and finally sent to print with a window of normally two weeks to turn around. Today these are turned around same day with the customer more often than not placing their own order online, so no artworker at all is involved.

Precision Printing also expanded their services to become more of a creative print agency, often called into an agency prior to projects and concepts even being drafted out. Agencies are keen to have our input so we can advise how to get the best results using some of the latest technologies we have (Scodix and Motion Cutter).

Something to be proud of

Working alongside a number of loyal clients, Precision Printing has built relationships with the likes of American Express. They were delighted when the world’s largest card provider turned to physical printed media and Precision Printing to make a big impression on small businesses in the high street. As engagement soared, the results were startling, so much so, that they have now run the campaign for the last four years.

They were also excited when a theatre agency was keen to publicise a forthcoming theatre production in an unusual way. There are now so many shows that people can go to, so the agency wanted to market the play to group ticket sales agencies in a way that would really stand out. They settled on the idea of a golden ticket campaign, just like the golden tickets in Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

From customers to other agencies, the campaign caught the attention of everyone, and had everyone buzzing about it. This opportunity gave print marketing the recognition it deserves. The campaign was very successful for the theatre agency. Suddenly, everyone was talking about print marketing rather than digital marketing. They were also talking about a print job that had a much higher cost and profit level than a standard campaign.

What’s next for Precision Printing?

In a highly competitive market, the plan for Precision Printing is to continue to evolve at the same pace as new technologies and trends. No company can afford to stand still in the print industry.

Precision Printing’s drive with Where the Trade Buys, the online print solution for trade printers, keeps the team at Precision Printing in the running. Where the Trade Buys is their fastest-growing revenue stream, growing by 80% in 2016. As of July 2016, Precision relocated their East London operations from its current 3,300sqm Barking site to larger 5,110sqm premises three miles down the road. The relocation will make room for a new packing and mailing service and a whole new level of technology.

Always thinking on their feet, Precision Printing are prepared to move forward with the market that’s full of new trends but will never forget their roots and the success they owe to their customers, staff and commitment to the highest standards of quality and aftercare – which remain the number one priority.

]]>Will Forex Trading Become Mobile Tradinghttp://www.techwench.com/will-forex-trading-become-mobile-trading/
Fri, 04 Aug 2017 07:29:07 +0000http://www.techwench.com/?p=34768Forex trading is becoming more and more popular, but as every form of modern financial trading, it is highly dependable of technological innovations. New forex brokers and platforms appear each day, but only a handful of them is worth traders’ time and money. Besides that, one of the major influences on forex industry is trading habits. Trading habits are not always result of changes in financial markets, but changes in lifestyle.

If we think about it, only 10 years ago, it was still considered unnecessary to have a smartphone with a great subscription plan that will allow us to watch movies online, while we are commuting to work each day. Nowadays, we take it for granted and are not aware that mobile industry changed the way we pay, buy, trade and socialize.

The technological advance affects Forex industry in a great measure that simply cannot be ignored. Considering the importance of the role our mobile phones and tablets have in our lives, it can be predicted that Forex trading will switch from desktop very soon. Here are the reasons why!

Accessibility

Modern traders want to trade without any limitations, and desktop trading can be quite restrictive. In case the broker has a platform that needs to be downloaded, trader can’t simply log in via any device and access his trades, but must do it from a computer that already has the entire setup. Also, more and more forex brokers decide to invest in mobile apps and platforms operated directly from the browser that requires no download.

New services

The forex trading industry grows in every way, including auto trading solutions and signals. Traders rely less and less on their own analysis and use specialized services in form of signals and trading software instead. Small charts that are hard to follow are not an issue for them, as they decided to have additional support during the trading process and all they have to do is place a trade. New services allow forex traders to be relaxed and simplify the trading process. Simplified trading asks for a simplified platform without many details that can be distracting, and mobile platforms often look exactly like that.

Big Shots Go Mobile

It is very important on who accepts the trends first! After years of operating exclusively as a download platform, MetaTrader decided to expand to the WebTrader interface that is operated from the browser on desktop computer and laptop, and a mobile trader that is accessible via modern mobile phones. This is a big deal as MetaTrader is known to be somewhat demanding for Forex beginners, but in this case, mobile apps simplify the trading process. Also, it is only a question of time when every forex broker will develop their mobile platform first, and only then focus on desktop solutions.

In conclusion, it is impossible for a dynamic and innovative industry such as Forex industry to ignore the changes that are about to happen. Brokers who don’t have a mobile platform and are not prepared for this technological revolution might lose their customers. However, this doesn’t mean that the Forex industry will stop evolving, as we can expect also more concerns regarding mobile security, data safety and account accessibility that cannot be put in hands of mobile networks and mobile companies but have to be handled by Forex brokers who are delivering the trading service. Mobile trading will have to become the safest type of trading when it comes to hacking attacks.

Also, traders will have to keep in mind that mobile trading on forex markets will be profitable and executed properly only if they have a mobile internet connection and mobile device that are advanced enough to keep up with the latest version of the platform belonging to their favorite broker. Desktop trading won’t be extinct, but due to new habits of online users, it will not be the preferable method, as mobile trading really is more convenient and adjusted to modern trading preferences.

]]>5 Advantages Of Upgrading To A Better Business Phone Systemhttp://www.techwench.com/5-advantages-of-upgrading-to-a-better-business-phone-system/
Tue, 01 Aug 2017 18:20:07 +0000http://www.techwench.com/?p=34779Besides perhaps your website, a dedicated business phone number is probably the top way customers get in touch with the company for the first time or for repeat communications. Since your phone system likely gets such heavy use during a typical day, it’s important to consider upgrading it to a solution made for today’s fast-paced world. There are several perks associated with taking that approach, not to mention numerous types of technology to research.

A New Phone System Can Grow With Your Business

Scalability is one of the top benefits of getting a new, better phone system for your company. Like most businesspeople, you’re probably hoping your establishment is continually profitable and doing everything in your power to make sure that’s the case.

Maybe your business is expanding at a rapid pace and it’s already clear your current phone system cannot cope with the increased levels of demand. When that happens, you and your customers may experience several technical difficulties that make it hard or impossible for you to provide the high quality of service as intended.

Even if your business is not actively growing, there’s a good chance it will in the future. By thinking ahead and planning for that time, you’ll be proactively doing something to reduce your stress and possibly cut costs, too.

Ability to Enjoy More Features With the Phone System

Depending on how long it has been since you last upgraded the phone system, the existing equipment may be woefully lacking in terms of features. For example, you may not be able to see the name or even the phone number of the person on the other end before picking up the receiver and the setup might not allow for doing more seemingly basic things like logging call times and keeping records of overall volumes across certain time spans.

After talking with representatives about desired features for a new system, you may also discover it’s possible to get real-time, integrated monitoring abilities. In that case, it becomes much easier to ensure quality control and consistent customer experiences, as well as provide constructive feedback for your company’s telephone-based agents.

You May Not Need an Entire New Phone System

If the idea of upgrading to a new system from scratch makes you break into a cold sweat just thinking about the hassles doing so might cause for customers, don’t worry. Many reputable companies offer managed IT services so you can easily tap into measurable expertise about everything related to business telephone needs.

Depending on your circumstances and existing setup, you might be able to go with a hybrid VoIP phone system that converts analog signals into digital data and allows for a migration over to new technology that takes place across years rather than days, because it relies on equipment you already have. This option is also a good route to take if your budget does not allow for a complete communications overhaul.

Appealing Options Exist

After doing minimal research, you’ll realize you have choices to make when figuring out the ideal VoIP phone systems for small businesses based on your needs. For example, if picking a technology that resides in the cloud, phone numbers are not tied to single locations, which could be helpful if you have many remote workers who don’t often work in traditional office settings. On the other hand, an on-premise IP PBX system can handle thousands of users, making it a smart choice if you’re considering a major expansion or merger that could make your establishment much larger soon.

Worker Productivity Could Go Up

When employees have no choice but to endure using clunky, outdated phone systems, even the most dedicated among them may consistently lack productivity. If you’re perpetually frustrated because workers aren’t able to assist customers fast enough, the problem may be due to a phone system that frequently drops calls, makes it hard to hear people on the other line, or often fails when workers need to transfer calls to other departments.

Those are all problems that may occur with older phone systems. They could quickly cause employees to become disheartened and might even make them want to look for work elsewhere.

It should now be clear why there’s no reason to wait any longer before you at least see which options exist for capable business phone systems. The decision to do so could make a business stronger in anticipated and unexpected ways.

You need to stand out against competitors in your industry so in order to get yourself noticed, you want to make sure the banners for you marketing campaign are positioned in the best place. Specialists in outdoor banner printing, Where the Trade Buys use high quality technology to achieve the best quality outdoor banners for your campaign. Their HP Indigo printers offer a wider and more versatile format that allows them to print on larger press formats.

As experts in outdoor banners, Where The Trade Buys have offered up this advice to make sure that your banner is in the right place.

First things first, you need to consider where are your audience likely to be, and where will they be looking? It goes without saying that your banner needs to be in front of potential customers. Knowing exactly who your customer is, and where they’re likely to spend their time day-to-day is always a strong place to start.

There are many key considerations to evaluate when establishing where you banner should be placed. Keep the following in mind when you’re making the decision:

Inside your establishment – If you own a shop or leisure venue that’s open to members of the public, having a large display banner in your premises will help you to quickly and effectively promote any offers or products that you’re trying to push. An added bonus? If it’s on your property, you can change the banners as often as you feel.

Outside your establishment – Banners can be used to great effect outside your workplace. Again, you can use them to promote your latest products or services, or any offers that may be of interest – offers are great way to attract new customers who haven’t worked with you before. You can also use outdoor banners to replace the company logo and signage – as they can be a much more affordable option than more permanent solutions.

In public spaces. Whether it’s building wraps or scaffolding, getting outdoor banners in high-traffic public spaces is a great way to get a lot of brand exposure very quickly.

At public events. Public events such as marathons, festivals and more are usually highly populated with people, so you’ll be able to get your message to many very quickly. Make sure it makes sense for your business to be seen in affiliation with the event, and that the people who are attending it fit your customer demographic – otherwise they’re very unlikely to convert into customers.

Exhibitions and trade shows. Outdoor banners can be utilised for the indoors very successfully at industry exhibitions and trade shows. Make sure when you’re setting up that your banner is in visitors’ line of sight so you can attract passers-by as they enjoy the exhibition.

Another factor worth considering, is keeping your banner close-by to your venue. New customers will not want to travel far to your establishment – keeping it nearby encourages customers to make the short trip. Putting the sign near your premises gives your banner the best chance of success.

Always be aware of what your competitors are up to. Where are your competitors advertising? This should inform your decisions for two reasons – it will give you a good idea of places that work in your market – but it also may be worth avoiding so you’re not advertising in the same place as your direct competitors.

Designing an Impactful Outdoor Banner

When approaching the design process for your outdoor banner, you must consider your audience – who are you designing it for, what their relation to your business is and where are you going to put the banner?

It is vital that your banner is attention-grabbing – especially if you’re trying to catch the eye of new customers. Make sure you consider the following five tips:

The bigger picture. How will the banner look when it’s full-size and in place? Having an eye on the bigger picture will help you to work out the details.

Keep things clear and simple. Try not to overcomplicate your banner with lots of different fonts or too many images. Instead, strip back as much as possible and keep the message simple.

A call to action. What do you want people to do after seeing your banner? Calls to action could include:

A visit to your premises

Contacting you

Visiting your website to find out more

The quality of the print and finish. You want precise printing and a high-quality finish to give your brand the best chance of a good first impression.

]]>The Complete Guide For Kids To Stay Safe Onlinehttp://www.techwench.com/the-complete-guide-for-kids-to-stay-safe-online/
Wed, 26 Jul 2017 04:08:25 +0000http://www.techwench.com/?p=34762The birth of the information age and the people that were born alongside it were immediately thrust into a limitless world of endless possibilities with the online world becoming as widespread and powerful as it is today. Children today are becoming instantly injected into the cyber world, and know it far better than many adults do today. Children are, however, still highly vulnerable to all manner of online predatory parties, no matter how well they know their way around social media and entertainment websites. Here are some valuable tips for achieving the greatest online security possible.

Keep any Personal Information Private

Signup or registration pages – which are actually phishing scams – are one of the most effective ways of deceiving the innocent mind. Children will only too happily provide a website with their home address, telephone numbers, and other biographical information needed to hack into their lives. Children will also unwittingly provide their parents’ financial information, resulting in massive theft before a card can be blocked.

For this reason, it is essential that children be educated on the dangers of posting private information. They need to know that even the most seemingly trustworthy websites can in fact be scams. There are, however, various internet security programs which can be installed, which will verify the legitimacy of any website being accessed.

Being Respectful

Children will be exposed to all manner of alien cultures, opinions, and phenomena in general, which may not be congruent with their often limited perceptions and mind-sets. This can easily result in them posting inflammatory or offensive comments on people’s posts, which may end them up in trouble with school authorities.

This is an excellent opportunity to broaden children’s cultural horizons – being a great education on diversity if a parent is present to guide them through the flood of foreign stimulus and information that the world’s internet users continue to post. With unlimited internet Canada, children now have unparalleled access to the internet, and can now stream, download, and investigate new and enticing media, news, and opinions like never before. Guidance is essential in this respect.

Posting Personal Photos and Videos

The internet is, unfortunately, brimming with unsavoury characters just waiting for children to provide an intimate preview of themselves and their lives. Children need to be very careful when posting photos of themselves online, as they may be downloaded and used for any manner of sinister means.

Parents need to decide if their children are mature enough to be using social media services such as Instagram or Facebook, which involve a rather comprehensive and direct compilation of a child’s life. Certain kinds of photos need to be filtered, and children should know not to put up anything too personal.

Avoiding Strangers

With regards to social media, another scary possibility is that of a predator befriending a child on something like Facebook. Many criminals will create fake profiles, pretending to be a child themselves, using an uncanny amount of photographs and information to create a convincing persona.

For this reason, children must never add someone as a friend unless they have previously met them and can confirm that the person is real. Although Facebook has heightened its efforts towards erasing fake and predatory profiles, awareness and discretion are still essential insights that children need when navigating social media.

]]>The Benefits Of Robotic Process Automationhttp://www.techwench.com/the-benefits-of-robotic-process-automation/
Tue, 25 Jul 2017 08:47:18 +0000http://www.techwench.com/?p=34757Robotic process automation is a recent trend in technological development and can have massive implications on the labour market and the society in the coming years. The trends and developments that take place are often seen as ambiguous. On the one hand automation procedures open new opportunities for economical effectiveness and better utilisation of workforce. But likewise, some people see risks of job losses or are scared by the power of artificial intelligence.

To start with, first of all what is robotic process automation? It can include a variety of different forms of automation, from software to complex physical robotics that are installed in a factory. A simple automation form is automated process management through a Software as a Service (SaaS) platform. With such as software solution companies can easily replace repetitive tasks on the computer with a “virtual workforce”. This article has been brought to you by Thoughtonomy. Once the software has been set up it can automatically conduct the same task of the employee in less time. This obviously effects the efficiency of business operations and helps businesses to become more cost-efficient.

Another benefit is that the workforce can now be used for more important tasks and does not have to be allocated to repetitive tasks and admin jobs that are normally not appreciated by employees anyway. Most critics of robotic automation don’t really see that robotic automation does not necessarily lead to job loss but much more importantly opens doors to be more creative and use the power of individuals in better ways than for administrative tasks.

Furthermore, critics can be reassured that certain jobs will always need to be in place and can never be taken by an automation and a robot. There a three things that humans can do significantly better than robots, which is 1. Creativity and Idea generation, 2. Common sense, 3. Emotion and Humour. All jobs that fit either of these attributes will hardly be replaced by automation in future.

Automation with software or AI can help to reduce the major societal trend of health conditions or too much stress related to work overload. Also, it is a great achievement of robotic automation to take over unpleasant jobs of assembly line workers in factories. Other industries that take advantage of automation are agriculture and mining where rationalisation had led to reduced need of work labour on a large scale.

If you are still skeptical of robotic process automation and afraid that a robot might be the cause that you are loosing your job, then you keep in mind that the labour market has always changed at any point of time. The industrial revolution in the 18th and 19th century has massively changed the whole professional environment, but with that created lots of new jobs. In the same way will automation inarguably change todays labour market, but who knows what new opportunities will be formed based on the creativity of the human mind and historical experience.

Automation opportunities generally exist in almost all industries. As a business owner you can start simply by implementing a software solution that will first of all monitor and record the task that you want to automate. Then the software will analyse the process and search for opportunities of improvements and finally it will all be programmed and the task will be conducted by itself.

As you see there are many benefits of robotic process automation and it is a very contemporary topic you should definitely look into as a business owner as well as an employee. It will certainly change the labour market but with that bring lots of new opportunities.

Wed, 12 Jul 2017 14:00:16 +0000http://www.techwench.com/?p=34735As one of the best smartphones on the markets, it only makes sense the iPhone 7 Plus juggles its role as a mobile entertainment system seriously. Thanks to its 5.5 inch LCD Retina display and A10 Fusion chip with 64-bit architecture, it’s a competent gaming gadget that can keep up with the latest mobile games.

There are a lot of new releases out there that we’re excited to see on our 7 Plus displays, but today we’re look at the top 3: Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series, Contest of Champions, and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. With just one adjustment to your 7 Plus to improve its grip, these games have the ability to transport you to different worlds wherever you log in.

Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series

Episode one of this five-part series follows Star-Lord and his band of mismatched heroes as they figure out what to do with an immensely powerful artifact. Each character has his or her own opinions, including a rag-tag group of villains who are willing to tear the universe apart in order to get their hands on this relic.

The game itself recaptures the humor of the movies as you follow the characters, and the galactic romp is set to the cheesy pop-rock anthems that made up the movies’ soundtracks. It’s a surprisingly character-driven action-adventure, as your decisions of dialogue and action will customize your Telltale experience.

Marvel Contest of Champions

For those anxiously awaiting the upcoming Spider-Man: Homecoming or the far off Avengers: Infinity Wars, you’re best choice of game would be Marvel Contest of Champions. It’s a typical fighting game that pins the unlikely heroes of your comics against the universe’ worst villains. Your task is creating the ultimate team of champions capable of going head to head with Kang and Thanos in order to save The Marvel Universe from destruction.

Contest of Champions ignores most alliances and rivalries, as the state of the universe supersedes these petty squabbles. As long as they’re a Marvel character, you can collect them and add them to the team. Choose from like Star-Lord, The Hulk, and Deadpool and pair them up with villains like Magneto and the Winter Soldier to build an unstoppable force of super-beings.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

Otherwise known as KOTOR, the latest Star Wars RPG is an epic. As one of the last surviving members of the Jedi Order, you have to decide whether you’ll use the Force to save the Republic or destroy it. As you walk down your chosen path, you’ll learn to control the Force and build a respectable roster of skills.

Equipped with a lightsaber and a team of customizable characters you’ll take your starship, the Ebon Hawk, through 8 distinct worlds as you protect or conquer the known galaxy. Its immersive world belies the smaller platform, and you’ll forget you’re travelling around Tatooine and Kashyyyk from your Plus.

The choice of going Dark Side isn’t one to make lightly. Neither is your choice of skin once you start playing these games out in the real world. Part of the appeal of loading your 7 Plus with a ton of the latest games is its ability to transport you into another world while you’re stuck on a bus during rush hour traffic.

There’s just one issue. When you’re in the fight of your life against Thanos, you can’t exactly keep an eye on your fellow passengers. One sharp elbow as someone attempts to get off the bus can cause your iPhone to go flying. While the 5.5 inch Retina display is perfect for your gaming, it’s less equipped to handle a drop to the floor.

In addition to making the most eye-catching iPhone 7 Plus decals on the market, the designers from dbrand understand the needs of using your handset in the real world — aka a crowded bus where the term personal space has lost all meaning. That’s why the iPhone 7 Plus skins at dbrand enhance the grip of your phone. Its vinyl material is texturized in such a way that makes it easier to hold while you’re busy exploring the universe with Star-Lord.

Other than accidental spills, there aren’t many obstacles stopping you from playing the latest games on your iPhone. They certainly aren’t coming from your 7 Plus. As a high-performing handset with arguably the best screen on a smartphone, Apple’s flagship makes it easier to catch up on your favorite characters wherever your sign on. Try The Telltale Series, Contest of Champions, and KOTOR to see how well it performs before tackling the rest of the iOS mobile game set for release this year.

]]>Can Robots Outsmart Humans In Trading?http://www.techwench.com/can-robots-outsmart-humans-in-trading/
Wed, 05 Jul 2017 04:28:46 +0000http://www.techwench.com/?p=34727We are all familiar with stories about AI Robots that will be able to perform all the tasks that are known to man, and recently there are rumors how robots could replace humans in financial trading for good.

Also, it is important to note that some prominent scientists, such as Stephen Hawking, believe that it is essential to control AI technology as Robots could be more advanced than humans at some point. We remind you of Kasparov’s victory over the Deep Blue machine in the battle of man and machine that is, without a doubt, legendary. At that point, people realized they had the advantage of any machine invented by scientists. now, more and more financial companies are introducing, robots, software, and computers that should be replacing human analysts.

New Generation of Trading

However, when we talk about financial trading, whether it is forex or binary options or maybe the traditional options market trading, we can see that there are different opinions.

Technology is advancing incredibly quickly every day, and therefore communication and financial trading are getting faster and easier. Advanced computers, robots, and gadgets are able to make an analysis that is more precise than any analysis performed by human specialists. For example, binary options software scans the market and delivers trades that have high chances of being profitable only in the matter of seconds or minutes.

This also means that in the future the relationship between investors and computer programs designed for trading will change. Robots are getting cheaper and their quality of work is more accurate so it will surely replace humans at some point. Of course, there will always be humans who want to interact with other humans, and who believe that no robot can replace their human broker.

Studies have shown us that robots lack of feelings and awareness can’t do the whole job. A study by Japanese scientists shows that the AI robots accuracy already surpass stockbrokers, though the number of predictions made by the computer is still relatively small. Japanese experts believe that artificial intelligence could change the way financial markets work.

The development of new generation algorithms that can learn and adapt without human interference have their own advantages and disadvantages. As stated in many reviews, it will be very difficult to foresee and control such kind of investments.

Who will control Robots’ Analysis?

It is important to note that robots rely on the analysis of millions of market-driven data to predict how prices will fluctuate in the future. Broadly speaking, when the market moves in one direction, the robots are able not only to follow that movement and predict the future movements but also to inform the investor about a potential investment opportunity.

Financial robots are already very close to a supercomputer in terms of reliability which could make human brokers and specialists somewhat obsolete.

Imagine that all robots, algorithms, and software perform perfectly and have no advantage over other similar products. At one point, everyone would use the perfect trading software and no one will have the edge to be better and more profitable. By doing this, the market itself would collapse and the need for trade would disappear. Even though this scenario is still science fiction, it is not impossible, even though standard economics says it should not be possible. Robots don’t have emotions, but on the other hand, this won’t prevent humans to act irrationally and emotionally when making a financial investment.

It will certainly take some time for scientists to develop an intelligent investment system that not only follows the trend and therefore we believe that experienced human managers have no reason to fear.
